It doesn’t have to be large scale. It can start with a single journal, with a single university, with a single scientist.
Make peer review public. Weight replication studies more. Make conducted peer reviews and replications an important metric for tenure and grants. Publish data and code alongside papers.
- mike_hearn 3y agoSome of those things were tried already. Some peer reviews are public, I've read them. Data and code are sometimes published too. It doesn't help. It just means outsiders get to read bad peer reviews and bad code, but the right people within the system don't actually care. There's no way for the public to hold anyone to account, science is a law unto itself because politicians are generally not scientifically minded. They can be easily bullied with technobabble. The few that aren't susceptible to this don't tend to rise to the top.
